Review:
Perched at the mouths of the Elizabeth, James, and Nansemond Rivers, the Old Point Comfort Lighthouse represents the entryway to the historic Hampton Roads. The site on which the lighthouse stands has been said to have been a long-time navigational beacon as historians believe that the Native Americans would light wood fires and keep them burning for the navigation of Spanish ships in the 16th century. The first official lighthouse, however, was built sometime in 1800. Guests to the lighthouse today can explore it and learn more about the area through informative and entertaining guided walking tours or self-guided tours.
